Design PatternsArticle :: An Interview with Watts Humphrey, Part 26: Catastrophic Software Failures and the Limits
In this transcript of an oral history, Grady Booch interviews SEI Fellow Watts Humphrey. In Part 26, Humphrey discusses the software failures of the Therac-25 and the V-22 Osprey, why testing catches less than 1% of all scenarios, and why good software is like a symphony, where one bad line of code -- or one bad musician -- can ruin the entire piece.
